Kamarou was struggling to recreate the contact with the Mantis shugenja, and Bairei met her to gain knowledge about it. They eventually realized to focus in the thunder element was the key to repeat the communication, [2] which she accomplished again. The ritual was so taxing that the communications had to be short. In Kamarou's hair appeared a grey streak after it, resembling a thunder. [1] Her body was older than her years, the rituals that she enacted having aged her prematurely. Bairei temporarily suspended the rituals until he could determine if the effect on her could be reversed. [4]

In 1173Asako Hoshimi contacted with Kamarou, who was at Meidochi, and requested her to sent word to the commander of the Fifth Imperial Legion. She was assisting Shiba Danjuro and the shogun forces at his command. They had been caught by the Destroyers in a pincer attack, and the rokugani could not fall back without began a slaughter. The communication was lost when Hoshimi was killed by a Destroyer. [4]
